Title: Capture gamma ray spectroscopy for analyzing gravel-packs, frac-packs and cement
Inventor: QIANMEI (JEREMY) ZHANG
IPC: G01V5/10
Filed: 2017-05-12
Abstract: Methods of using capture gamma-ray spectroscopy for analyzing gravel-packs, frac-packs, and cement are disclosed herein. The methods can include distinguishing particles placed in a borehole region from particles placed in a subterranean formation outside of the borehole region, by utilizing a slurry comprising a liquid, particles, and a thermal neutron absorbing material to place the particles into the borehole region. The methods can also include obtaining first and second data sets by lowering into a borehole traversing the borehole region a pulsed neutron logging tool comprising a pulsed neutron source and a detector, emitting pulses of neutrons from the pulsed neutron source into the borehole region at intervals of one pulse per about 1,000 µsec for the first data set and about one pulse per about 100 µsec for the second data set, and detecting capture gamma rays resulting from nuclear reactions in the borehole and the subterranean formation.

IPC: G01C21/30
Filed: 2020-12-10
Abstract: Map data 10 of an environment of a vehicle 20 is verified by transmitting map data 10 to the vehicle 20 from a control unit 1, wherein the map data relates to an area of a position of the vehicle 20. Verification information is transmitted from the vehicle 20 to the control unit 1, which characterizes a comparison between a representation of the area in the map data 10 and a representation of the area in sensor data of the first vehicle taken at a first time. At a second, later time, a second vehicle 21 travels through the area. The map data 10 is transmitted from the control unit 1 to the second vehicle 21 depending on the time difference between the first and second times (and whether this difference meets a threshold).The map data is transmitted from the control unit 1 to the second vehicle 21 depending on the verification information.
